Killswitch is literally the definition of mid 2000s metalcore. They did it better then anyone. Heavy and melodic and they never seem to miss a beat. Still waiting on a full length album that features Jesse and Howard together with Killswitch. A man can only dream 😂

Korns Issues and Untouchables are no skips albums for me

That first Korn album was something special. It opened my eyes to what music could be/do. Listening to Jon cry his eyes out at the end of Daddy for the first time was such a powerful moment. The rest of the songs are bangers, too.

Sum 41 is the main band that comes to mind when I rock my “Make America Pop Punk Again” shirt. They are such a great show. Lots of energy and sound immaculate

Divine Intervention was the first cassette tape I popped in my Walkman when I got out of jail. Always holds a special place in my heart.🎃

when i listened to the RATM album i was just absolutely stunned by how every single song had me obsessed with it, i ended up adding the whole album to my playlist, definitely gonna listen to their other albums

I feel personally Sum 41 does pop punk and metal both amazingly, happy that their next double album will explore both apparently as it's been a while since they did pop punk stuff

Glad to see I wasn't the only struggling to limit myself when listing all these fantastic albums. I tried to make a "10 albums I would bring to a deserted island", but it quickly became 12 and then I remembered some more that I just had to include :P Sum 41 was such a huge part of my college time (2001-2004), we listened to All Killer, No Filler, Does this look infected? all the time, and Chuck during the final year as well.

Disgusting by beartooth is one of my favorite metal albums of all time!

Thanks for giving Divine Intervention some love, got it at release and it nested in my brain. Most people never understood how mosh pots were fun. Concussions, bruises, broken nose, almost being paralyzed in Machine Head's pit, admittedly I over do it for a little guy in the pit, but really there is little in life that ive experienced that compares to a good metal mosh pit. Most brutal ... Machine head, Killswitch 2nd. Funnest mosh pit without a doubt Suicidal, funnest show I've been too period out of 30+ years of concerts. Best sound was Heaven and Hell, wow just wow. I could go on and on but won't.

Beartooth will always hold a special place in my heart. My all time favorite band. Are they hardcore anymore? Of course not. But Caleb will always produce these amazing, catchy and over the top pop choruses, and fits a breakdown every time. The subject matter is always amazing as well! 🤘🏼

bro you took me waaaaaay back with the CCS catalog reference. I miss that shit, always the freshest drip

I 100% agree that Killswitch is the greatest metalcore band. They are one of the bands that got me into Metal music. Listened to As Daylight Dies countless times without skipping any track back in the day.

Now I’ve been in some pits in my time. But Hatebreed at Download 09 was the only pit I genuinely got tf out of for pure personal survival concerns. I was 17 and people just getting f’d up around me left right and centre, broken noses, blood spatters in the air. I literally did about 60 seconds in there before going “absolute nope” and got tf out of there and just watched from the sidelines. That sh*t was crazy.

"They went full Korn" hahahaha loved that. Man, that KSE album 🥰. So much nostalgia hearing My Curse. Love that album so much.

Glad to see 'Divine Intervention' get so much love here....their most underrated album....and Bostaph's drumming/sound....

These are all legitimate picks, mine would look different In Flames- Whoracle Alice in Chains - Dirt Soundgarden -Superunknown Tool- Aenima KSE- Alive or Just Breathing Machine Head - The Blackening (Hate on Robb Flynn as much as you want, The Blackening got metal album of the decade from the Golden Gods) Pantera-Far Beyond Driven Lorna Shore - Pain Remains Trivium - Shogun Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake

The vocals of Tallah sort of have a Korn vibe even in some of the chaos in the music but like you said more of an influence

The debut mgmt album, glow on by turnstile, ADSOB by knocked loose, TWIGTRY by vein. All 10s imo.

Tallah does Korn influenced stuff

Life of agony’s river runs red album is a definite 10/10 and also Biohazard urban discipline

My man just dropped ccs.....used to have HUGE stacks of their tiny magazines thank you for the memories

I saw korn open for melvins i think it was in 1994 and no one could tell what was going on at the time lol

Adam D.'s backing vocals are amazing as well!

Man said ccs catalog I miss those so much I thought the world had forgotten about em hahahaha

I love "All killer. No filler" and "Does this look infected" Sum 41 albums. Those are my favourites. Also KoRn Self Titled might be my all time favourite album

I realize this isn't a new video, but I have to say that I appreciate the variety here, and you had some great picks. The self-titled from RATM is damn-near perfect, Divine Intervention is a great sleeper pick, and As Daylight Dies is peak metalcore. Also, I have huge respect for Charli XCX. I've tried to get into that record, and it didn't really click for me, which is a shame, cause I really wanted to like it. I think that's only because I'm not the biggest hyperpop fan, but it is a very creative record, and I would agree that she does that sound the best

Become the Fuse surprised me. Thank you Finn! Glad I found your channel and you’re local lol

How I’m Feeling Now is such a damn good pop album.

Korn korn is a phenomenal album.

Korn introduced me to metal. And I really love the old stuff, especially because it sounds so dirty. The newer stuff sounds too perfect, almost overproduced.

A bit late, but the reason Divine Intervention sounds like that is that they recorded it at 3 different studios, and then tried to match the sounds between different studios and setups

Underoaths 4 main albums Chasing Safety, Define the great line, lost in the sound of seperation, disambiguaton, are all amazing front to back

The best sum 41 albums for me is “does this look infected?” And “Chuck”

"Evil Empire" for RATM is also a 10 (with their best song: "Down Rodeo") ... so I guess they are 2 for 2 as 10 albums

Perseverance is my favorite Hatebreed album, but this one is great.

Strollin’ though the party like my name is El Niño

Korn's debut still hits like a ton of bricks. The emotion captured can't be denied. Ross Robinson squeezed out the last drop from Jon Davis & co. A timeless record.

Finn never disappoints with his hot takes.

I first saw blind on the much maligned MTV ''Superrock'' ( which was very underrated and unfairly judged) show back in 95. I remember what immediately struck me was the style. You didn't see metal bands decked out in ADIDAS gear and baggy jeans at the time. And the energy of the video was insane . For better or worse, that video changed metal forever

I think I've said thisBefore.. when I first started playing in a band Jamie lived up the street from me.. they're already famous and we used to go see him at toad's place all the time in New Haven

Not lying when I say sum 41 was one of the tipping points for me going to wwwy next year. Just have to hear some all killer no filler live

senses fail - still searching 10/10 Circa survive - blue sky noise 10/10

BFMV the poison is one of those albums for me

Damn right about Killswitch Engage! Also, I'd love to see a Strapping Young Lad video, I'm curious about your opinion.

My introduction to Slayer and i still love it.

Hey Finn this is totally off topic, but I just wanted to say thanks for the "punkrockmba" SeatGeek promo code. The Lorna Shore dates for Florida all sold out and this allowed me to get a ticket for Tampa without spending a ton of money. Side note I'd be interested in a deep dive on Machine Head/Robb Flynn since he's usually so polarizing. I personally love them even though I'm pretty conservative, cheers brother

Korn selftitled WAS MY LIFE! haahaha still love it!

Dude I haven’t thought of CCS since 5th grade… wow flood of memories

Check out Flymore from Russia, you may sometimes forget its not Korn. The sound is there from the first 4 korn albums, vibe, lyrics and vocals all VERY similar.

I hope Bad Religions 'Into the Unknown' is on this list 😆

Happy to see Beartooth getting some respect, I love them and Disgusting is for sure a 10/10 for me

Therapy? - Troublegum Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings NOFX - So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters Yes, I'm having the first Foo Fighters album as a 10.

The album cover to As Daylight Dies looks exactly like my phone screen.

With what you said about Hatebreed having violet shows, Alpha Wolf has been turning a lot of heads with that kind of slaughtering as well

Shit, I just put 2 and 2 together on this: Hatebreed, Cincinnati, 2009, Cannibal Corpse. Backstory: I was in a pop-punk/indie band with some friends from high school in 2009 and we entered a summer battle of the bands that was fairly large. We were stoked about it - big promotions and some sizeable crowds showing up. I signed us up for the "Summer Slaughter" battle of the bands thinking the name just had something to do with "battling". Jesus Christ, was I wrong. We showed up to the gig and realized we were a pop-punk band playing with 25 local metal bands all competing for an opening slot to that Hatebreed / Cannibal Corpse show! We made the best of it. Most of the other bands were pretty chill and actually thought it was sort of funny. A few bands said it was actually refreshing to hear a change of pace in the middle of the day and an A&R guy told us we sounded pretty good. To this day, it's probably the biggest show I've played and arguably the best show I've played, because none of us gave a fuck when we realized we didn't even care about winning. Edit: Oh, didn't know you hung with Kam too? He was friends with a few of my friends in Cincinnati and hung out with him a few times.

Respect for the Beartooth praise, such a good album! I saw these guys multiple times at Warped Tour and they were consistently one of the best and most energetic sets of the whole tour!

The minimalist version of early beartooth was brilliant!

You know about Inside out?? I have Spiritual surrender on cd, an original Inside Out t shirt AND a hoodie. 🥰 l love them!

Charlie XCX is a goated hook writter. I didn't even know those two but Boom Clap and Break the Rules are so catchy

Finn do you listen to LIGHTS

Helmet Meantime.....10!

also my favorite Killswitch Engage album and a top 5 metalcore album of all time mmm

I dont get it - why you mention Tom Araya while talking about RATM? Or you were thinking about Tom, but Morello? ;)

That's my favorite Hatebreed album, too! Fucking awesome.

@5:00 I think I fought those guys in Unreal Tournament 2003

how about The Dillinger Escape Plan? Did Finn every talk about them? they got some incredibly creative 10/10 albums.

As daylight Dies is goated with the sauce

todd from champion, nice! i know it's basically a discography but time slips away is a legit 10 for early 2000s hc fuckin bridge 9 core

Wow something I actually agree with you about! Charlie xcx is freaking awesome, so many great albums and I don't listen to a lot of pop

Holy crap, I forgot about the CCS catalog. Deep cuts.

Wait, someone tell Korn I was NOT ready!!! we need to start over!

Both the end of broken heart album and beartooths first ep and album are literally some of the greatest pieces of art I’ve ever consumed, Who else cries mid fuckin song with ranges of emotion like Caleb, And who has the lyrical ability to match the voice the way Howard does. They’re iconic and underrated and that’s ever special to return too a decade late and look back at

Love seeing Beartooth on here

Hatebreed's 2016 The Concrete Confessional its very very good it's a grower for me ...

Blind main riff is a remake of Scapegoat by Fear Factory

The original release of As Daylight Does was easily a 10/10. Then they released the special edition, which broke the scale for me. Especially "Let The Bridges Burn", I don't understand how that song didn't make the original cut.

Love that Raiders cap. Just win baby!!!

Do you think RKL’s “we’re back we’re pissed” is a 10 though or “Slither” by Earth Crisis(unpopular opinion)?

Adema was sounding like korn back then, also I think, stainds dysfunction is similar in sound to Lorna debut.

I was in a ripping pit at gwar last weekend!

Hell yeah nice hat Finn

The Used self titled album is a perfect 10/10 no skips

Chaoseum sound like Korn in 1 or 2 songs (Smile again and Unreal). Check out into my split or My wonderland

LOL @ the props to Courage Crew.

Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill 10/10

20:05 Zack de la Rocha’s pre RATM band was called Inside Out, the song was called “Burning Fight” come on bro I thought you were perfect and knew everything

I love it!

Saw hatebreed with lamb of god. Got nailed I. The pit. Good show.

Chat Pile does a good job sounding like Korn while also sounding completely unique

As fucking IF you just said Tony Robbins core!! I swear to God, about 6 weeks ago I put on The Fall Of Ideals for the first time in years and smoked a blunt for the first time in months and as The Weak Willed played I laughed out loud cuz i thought to myself "These lyrics sound like a motivational speaker... It's like Tony Robbins Core", and since then I keep using it to describe shit like this haha!! Wow, great minds think alike, huh, bud ;) All the best, do a History of Shai Hulud vid sometime :P

grew up with ratm i remember listening to evil empire in 8th grade dont agree withh most of the politics but fuck they certainly are one of the most unique bands ever

I left a comment on a previous top 10 albums stating I can't believe you didn't have korn on there.. then I came across this video. I take it back! 100% agreed! Korn self entitled is one the best albums front to back.

I too think as daylight dies is their best

To this day, every year when it's the first day of early summer, where it's hot enough that I can go outside in both a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, I put on "All killer". It's my summer record. And then I don't listen to it at all for 3/4 of the year. It's great, break out the dickies shants, put on the Sums.

Fat Lip was in American Pie 2!

From First To Last - Heroine

I use to have factor and it was literally some of the best food I've ever had. They keep sending me coupons to go back
